Community Engagement Coordinator

The Community Engagement Coordinator is an enthusiastic conservationist who inspires people to be part of a community that cares for the land. Under the guidance of the Community Engagement Manager, the Coordinator will create education, outreach, and event opportunities that reflect GPC’s conservation values and commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity and will support a wide variety of engagement-based projects under the umbrella of GPC’s conservation mission. The Community Engagement Coordinator will play an integral role in the development and implementation of GPC’s Land Labs program, a conservation education program designed to empower the next generation of environmental decision makers by introducing them to real-world science and stewardship opportunities on protected lands.

To be successful, the coordinator must be someone willing and excited to create, problem-solve, and grow the Land Labs team of GPC staff, AmeriCorps Fellows, and volunteers. In preparation for a Land Labs’ season, the coordinator will write and edit standards-based and culturally responsive curriculum, coordinate field experiences, foster relationships with teachers, schools, and stakeholders, recruit, train, and coordinate volunteer educators, develop surveys to track program impacts, and mentor GPC’s Conservation Education Fellows. The Community Engagement Coordinator will work also closely with the Community Engagement Manger to schedule and implement an annual program of community engagement and outreach opportunities including Walk and Talks, community science outings, outreach events, community stewardship work parties, and ribbon-cuttings. The coordinator will assist with GPC’s annual fundraiser and major donor events. Responsibilities will include design and communications tasks including event marketing, event flyer design, and creation of online sign-up forms.
